Staples Center: There’s More to the Stadium Than Sports and Justin Bieber

What do you like to eat when you go to the movies? How about when you go to a concert? If you go with me, then you like to eat whatever I’ve stuffed into my purse. Maybe it’s some In-N-Out or a nice three-course meal that I whipped up before I left the house. Regardless

I really thought I would be able to teleport by now. Not just fly, I mean “stand in one place then blink and now I’m in another city” kind of teleport. It’s 2016 and the world hasn’t delivered on some of its most basic promises like smellavision and flying cars. In spite of the aforementioned

When I was younger, I always thought that by the time I was twenty-five I would have a beautiful Downtown LA loft with brick walls, I would drink cocktails and eat dinner with my friends three times a week, and I would have the cutest outfits and curliest hair. If you couldn’t tell, these thoughts

Urban Radish in Downtown LA

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten in a grocery store. Actually that’s not true, I have. Whenever I’m grocery shopping and I have my purse spoon handy, I might take a few samples of ice cream before I buy it. Sure I get a few looks from the store employees, but if I broke the

“Turn that frown upside down, Gudetama, you’re the life of the party!” Those words of encouragement didn’t do much to put Gudetama in a peppy mood. It was probably because he knew we were all going to take a bite out of the little yolk. It was true, myself and a number of foodies were

Local Table in Downtown LA

Have you ever thought how much pressure we put on lunch? Sure breakfast is the most important meal of the day and dinner is communal, but lunch is the one that sustains us in a critical part of the day. Lunch is where we run to when we need something to fill us from being

TJ and I were ten minutes into our walk to The Black Sheep in Downtown LA and we were lost. Not just a little lost, more like we don’t have a Thomas Guide in 1994 lost. I thought I had GPS’d my way into this gastropub, but clearly I didn’t do a good enough job.

It was 1:06pm and I was running late. I was invited to check out the brand new bar Gamz in Downtown LA prior to its September 10 grand opening along with some bloggers and Instagrammers and I was six minutes late. I know with these types of events five minutes is fine, but I was

At this point in my life, there are many things that I’m still not ready for. Kids? Oh hell no, I struggle to take care of myself. Marriage? Eh…I have a hard time committing to a weekly exercise regimen, let alone a man for the rest of my life. But one thing I’m always ready
